Notes

Don't skip rinsing the rice—it makes all the difference.
Use fresh spices for maximum flavor impact.
You can make an extra layer of flavor by sprinkling a few drops of kewra water during assembly for a subtle floral note.
Leftover biryani can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Serve with raita or a simple cucumber salad for a delightful contrast to the rich flavors.
